Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 232 / Tuesday, December 5, 2023 / Notices 84353 

Beach conducted a salvage excavation at 

LAN–270, a site located in the Los Altos 

neighborhood of Long Beach, under the 

direction of Dr. William J. Wallace. The 

human remains excavated by Wallace at 

Los Altos were transferred to the 

Laboratory of Anthropology of the 

Hancock Foundation, and in 1966, they 

were donated to LACNHM. These 

human remains consist of eight human 

vertebrae and two human carpals 

(L.2397.66–4) belonging of one 

individual and an almost complete 

skeleton (L.2397.66–12) belonging to an 

adult female. No associated funerary 

objects are present. 

Cultural Affiliation 

The human remains in this notice are 

connected to one or more identifiable 

earlier groups, tribes, peoples, or 

cultures. There is a relationship of 

shared group identity between the 

identifiable earlier groups, tribes, 

peoples, or cultures and one or more 

Indian Tribes. The following types of 

information were used to reasonably 

trace the relationship: anthropological, 

archeological, biological, historical, and 

oral traditional. 

The Acjachemen Nation, Gabrieleno 

Tribes and Tongva Tribes (‘‘People of 

the Earth’’) have strong cultural ties to 

Laguna Beach and Long Beach 

coastlines. The site of Puvungna, 

located on the California State 

University, Long Beach campus, is 

sacred to the Gabrieleno, Tongva, and 

Acjachemen for its association with 

their Creation account and Tribal 

history, and annual pilgrimages there by 

Gabrieleno, Tongva, and Acjachemen 

continue today. The Luisen ̃ o people, 

which include the Pechanga Band of 

Indians, share cultural practices and 

beliefs with the Gabrieleno, Tongva, and 

Acjachemen, and are linguistically 

related. 

Determinations 

Pursuant to NAGPRA and its 

implementing regulations, and after 

consultation with the appropriate 

Indian Tribes, the LACNHM determined 

that: 

• The human remains described in 

this notice represent the physical 

remains of three individuals of Native 

American ancestry. 

• There is a relationship of shared 

group identity that can be reasonably 

traced between the human remains 

described in this notice and the 

Pechanga Band of Indians (Previously 

listed as Pechanga Band of Luiseno 

Mission Indians of the Pechanga 

Reservation, California).
